Back during the recession, I was actually the recipient of two of the most amazing acts of kindness, and though they differed enormously in terms of dollar value, I’ve never forgotten either.
在经济衰退期间，我实际上接受了两种最令人惊叹的善举，尽管它们在金额方面有很大差异，但我从未忘记这两种善举。
两件事中，较小的那那件事发生在卓越理发店（Great Clips），我想让理发师快速给我理个发，不在乎发型怎么样，我希望费用能免费，因为我要把头发拿去捐给一个慈善组织，一个给为治疗癌症而脱发的女性制作假发的当地组织。我不得不支付14美元以及其他所有的费用，哎，我的头发也不够长————我几乎付不起，但是我想我可以用我的信用卡来支付，因为我的信用卡余额刚好可以够了。
但是理完发后，我去柜台付款，却被告知付款了，说坐着等着理发的人给发付了，我不知道他们是谁，因为他们已经离开了。
第二件事，在金额上比较大。来自一家企业，这使得其更加令人印象深刻。
我们的卡车继续更换轮胎，有两个几乎被磨平了。另外两个也很糟糕，但是我们只买得起两个轮胎，于是我们坐在那里等着结果，一个人出来，对我丈夫说：“邓肯先生，你应该清楚，你的四个轮胎都需要更换对吧。”
我丈夫说是的，但是我们好像只买得起两个。我们必须等我们能够负担得起之后，我们再回来买另外两个。
这个伙计说：“我们不希望我们的任何客户使用有隐患的轮胎到处跑，所以我们更换了四个轮胎。”
我丈夫和他争辩说，“我们真的买不起四个轮胎。”
但是那个伙计说：“没事，你只需要支付两个轮胎的钱就够了。另外两个只是为了让你在未来的几年里活着成为我们的客户。”
不用说，我们都激动得大吃一惊，我说：我不知道该说什么好。
年轻人说，说声蟹蟹就行。
我们都说了，并且是发自内心的。
店名叫什么？“折扣轮胎，” 在佐治亚州劳伦斯维尔这里。只要我们活着，他们就会有我们的生意！
现在，我们虽然买了米其林轮胎——但还是希望他们获得不错的利润。
如果你住在这个地区，请光顾他们，因为他们是我见过的最善良、最有道德的企业。
（译注：折扣轮胎是美国最大的独立轮胎经销商，年营业额在350亿人民币左右；轮胎架历史最悠久，是美国规模最大的线上轮胎经销商。米其林轮胎是世界轮胎三巨头之一，在全球超过170个国家中进行产品营销。米其林公司全球共有113529位员工、69家制造工厂和2个橡胶种植园。年产1.9亿条轮胎、1700万册地图和指南。米其林公司创建于1889年的法国克莱蒙费朗。在100多年的时间中，米其林公司经历了持续不断的创新和发展。现拥有世界五大洲的业务运营以及位于欧洲、北美和亚洲的研发中心。）

I broke my neck in a car accident a few days before Purim, a Jewish holiday. I was taken to a hospital in Bend, Oregon, a bit of a distance from my home in Portland.
Two days later a pair of strangers came in to visit me with a box of homemade hamantaschen, the traditional pastry for Purim. A mutual friend had called them and walked them through the process of making hamantaschen for me. (This was before the internet.) Best hamantaschen I ever had.
在犹太人的传统节日，普林节的前几天，我在一场车祸中摔断了脖子。我被送到俄勒冈州本德的一家医院，离我在波特兰的家有点远。两天后，一对陌生人带着一盒自制的哈曼饼来拜访我，哈曼饼是普林节的传统糕点。我和这对陌生人的共同的一位朋友打电话给他们（这对陌生人），教他们为我制作了曼哈饼（这是在互联网出现之前）。这是我这辈子吃过的最好吃的曼哈饼子。
译注：普林节是犹太历中最欢乐的民间节日，纪念和庆祝犹太人在波斯帝国统治的年代里，以斯贴皇后拯救他们逃离灭族危难。普林节期间，犹太人身着夸张的服饰、戴着面具参加狂欢游行，因此普林节又被称为以色列的狂欢节（犹太狂欢节）。以色列中部小镇霍隆镇每年都会举行以色列规模最大的普林节狂欢游行。哈曼饼（ hamantaschen），是犹太食物，外星像个三角形，也被称为哈曼的耳朵。哈曼的耳朵是一种三角形的酥皮甜点，是犹太民族传统的普林节美食，哈曼的耳朵味道近似于曲奇饼干，馅料一般是由果酱馅和罂粟籽制作而成。

About 20 years ago, living in New York City, I had a terrible asthma attack. Being too poor to afford an ambulance, I used my last air to call a taxi and then staggered downstairs from my apartment to meet it. In my haste, and desperation, I neglected to check my purse for cash and found I had no money. But the driver heard my wheezing and drove me to the emergency entrance of the closest hospital and simply wished me well. Two days later, when the doctors decided it was safe to let me go home I called another taxi, with the intention of promising to go up into my apartment to get the money to pay him. By bizarre luck, it was the same driver, and he explained that I didn’t have to pay him this time either. His son was asthmatic, and had to be driven to the emergency more than once. He was happy to be able to help me in this small way.
大约20年前，我住在纽约，患了严重的哮喘。由于太穷了，叫不起救护车，我用尽最后的力气叫了一辆出租车，然后摇摇晃晃地从公寓下楼去坐车。在匆忙和绝望中，我忘了检查钱包里的现金，结果发现没带钱。但是司机听到了我的喘息声，就开车送我到最近医院的紧急入口，只是祝福我一切顺利。
两天后，医生确认我康复了，让我回家时，于是我又叫了一辆出租车，我打算给司机说好，希望送我回到公寓楼拿到钱再给他。但奇怪的是，这次我遇到的又是同一个司机，他解释说，这次也算了，不用付钱了。说他的儿子也有哮喘，去了医院急诊室很多次，他很高兴能在这个点上帮助到我。
他是一个留着大胡子的穆斯林，如果我第一次遇到他不是在呼吸困难的时候，我可能会被吓到，会产生很深的偏见。他是我见过的最善良的人。

This was such a good story, so glad you shared it. While I lived in Florida, many of of my friends were horrified because I had become friends with my Muslim mechanic and his uncle who ran the shop. I was in such a dire position there. I'd had to leave my job at 62. I was taking care of my mom who was elderly with kidney disease and congenital heart disease. I also had an unreliable car. They both helped me in so many ways! I moved after mom passed, but I will never forget them. Good people are just good people, plain and simple, regardless of color, creed, or nationality. When will we realize that!
这是一个如此好的故事，很高兴你分享了它。
当我住在佛罗里达时，我的许多朋友都很震惊，因为我和穆斯林机修工以及他的经营这家商店的叔叔成了朋友。
在那里，我的处境非常糟糕。
我不得不在62岁时辞去工作。
我在照顾患有肾脏疾病和先天性心脏病的年迈的母亲。
我还有一辆老出问题的车。
他们都在很多方面帮助了我！
妈妈去世后我搬了家，但我永远不会忘记他们。
好人就是好人，朴实无华，不分肤色、信仰或国籍。
我们什么时候才能意识到这一点呢！

It makes me sick that people are horrified simply on the basis of religion. This is very wrong.
人们仅仅因为宗教而感到恐惧，这让我感到恶心。这是非常不对的。
I agree. I’m not sure what her fear was. A great number of taxi drivers in NYC are Muslim
我同意。我不确定她害怕什么。纽约市很多出租车司机都是穆斯林。
My late parents had very good Muslim friends (brothers) who owned a garage and serviced all our cars. My dad also referred all his friends there and when he was managing his company’s fleet of cars, had those serviced there as well. As Orthodox Jews, some people were quite surprised that we were so friendly with a Muslim family.
They were some of the nicest people I have ever met. When they couldn’t get a part for my dad’s Nissan, one of the brothers loaned him his own Mercedes 500SE for several months.
we went out to dinner with them before we all immigrated. There were hugs and tears all round. Moral of the story: don’t judge people on preconceived ideas or societal norms.
我已故的父母有非常好的穆斯林朋友（兄弟），他们拥有一个修车库，为我们所有的汽车提供服务。我父亲还介绍了他在那里的所有朋友，当他管理公司车队时，也让他们在那里保养。作为正统派犹太人，一些人对我们与穆斯林家庭如此友好感到惊讶。
他们是我见过的最好的人。当他们找不到我爸爸的日产汽车的零部件时，其中一个兄弟把他自己的梅赛德斯500SE借给他几个月。
在我们搬家依据之前，我们和他们一起出去吃饭。大家都充满了拥抱和泪水。这个故事的寓意是：不要根据先入为主的观念或社会规范来评判人们。
（译注：犹太教正统派(orthodox party)的最大特点是坚持“天不变道亦不变”的原则，拒绝犹太教的变革，确信整部《妥拉》是上帝在西奈山上赋予摩西的神启，犹太律法是不能改变的，所以必须严守犹太教的传统信仰、律法和礼仪。现在，犹太教正统派在美国是少数派，约占600万犹太人口的6%，但在许多欧洲国家例如法国和英国仍然有相当大的影响力。）
I knew several Muslims while working at Boeing and they were amongst the nicest people I've met. They just wanted to live their lives in peace. Many of them were scared to death after 9/11 that people would turn on them but being in an industry that required an education and rational, far thinking, they were assured that they were not to blame. Being a Muslim doesn't automatically make one a terrorist. Less rational, shortsighted closed minded people need to realize this.
我在波音公司工作时认识几个穆斯林，他们是我见过的最好的人之一。他们只是想平静地生活。他们中的许多人在9·11事件后都害怕人们会攻击他们，但由于身处一个依赖受过教育，理性和长远思考的行业，他们确信自己不应该受到责备。作为一名穆斯林并不会自动成为恐怖分子。不那么理性、目光短浅、思想封闭的人需要意识到这一点。
Like me. I lived 10 minutes from the World Trade Center and harbored an irrational hatred and fear of Muslims. What cured my stupidity? Traveling around the world and interacting with more Muslims, which led me to believe I was being an idiot. I still cry on 9/11 but I don’t blame an entire faith for the actions of a few evil Muslims, hell we have evil so called Christians as well Look at what happened to Shinzo Abe yesterday There are good and evil people in every religion, I just had to rev up those critical thinking skills again
就像我一样，我住的地方离世贸中心只有不到10分钟的路程，对穆斯林有一种莫名其妙的仇恨和恐惧。是什么治好我的愚蠢？是因为我在环游世界的途中，让我认为自己是个白痴。
虽然我仍然为911感到难过，但我并没有将少数穆斯林的邪恶归咎于整个穆斯林的信仰。
艹，我们也有邪恶的基督教教徒，看看昨天，安倍晋三发生了什么吧。
每个宗教都有好人坏人，我需要提高自己的批判性思维。（译注：世贸中心是指美国世贸中心，被911事件就是这个被炸了。）

Please don't be afraid of Muslims they are really nice genuine people not all are terrorists. I have some friends who are from that faith as well as others and they are all nice helpful people.
As for you, I am glad you had this gentleman to drive you both times and the hospital to sort you out.
请不要害怕穆斯林，他们真的很好，是真正的人，不是所有人都是恐怖分子。我有一些朋友和其他关系的人都是来自这个信仰，他们都是乐于助人的人。至于你，我很高兴你两次都能遇到这位先生送你，医院也治好了你。
Yes, if I’m going to make assumptions or fear terrorism from a specific group, it will be the Republicans, specifically the Trumpanzees. If I see someone wearing camo or a plate carrier, or other pseudo-military gear, I will assume they are enemies of mine until proven otherwise.
是的，如果我要做出假设或害怕来自特定群体的恐怖主义，那将是共和党人，特别是特朗普夫妇。如果我看到有人穿着迷彩服或装甲运兵车，或其他伪军事装备，我会认为他们是我的敌人，直到证明不是这样。
The shocking part of this story is that if you’re poor you can’t call an ambulance. Does this not strike you as wrong?
这个故事中，令人震惊的部分是，如果你很穷，你就不能叫救护车，你不觉得这是不对的吗？

Yes, my stepmom thought that she was having a minor hear attack (she'd had them before), but didn't call an ambulance because she was still paying off an earlier ambulance bill. She didn't see a Dr until says later. It's a ridiculous system we have in the US.
是的，我的继母认为她有轻微的心脏病发作（她以前也有过），但没有叫救护车，因为她还在支付之前的救护车费用。后来很晚采取看医生，这制度真的很荒谬，我们美国就是这样。
If we judged the world's religions by their terrorist minorities, no one would ever trust any religious person.
如果我们以世界上的少数恐怖分子来判断世界上的宗教，那么宗教将无人可信。

Thank you for mentioning that. Holding Muslims collectively responsible for terrorist attacks—while not holding members of other groups responsible for the crimes of their members is nothing but hypocrisy.
And it doesn’t help that the imagery of muslims which is intentionally shaped by the news media, revolves around terrorism and extremism. So your answer means a lot. Thank you. I wish you the best.
谢谢你提到这一点，即让穆斯林全体为恐怖袭击负责，而不要求其他群体也对某罪负责，这完全是双标的。新闻媒体，有意塑造穆斯林的形象，都是围绕恐怖主义和极端主义。因此你的回答意义重大，非常感谢，祝你一切顺利。

On my shelf I have a copy of the Quran that was mailed to me by a cab driver who I had a conversation with.
He asked me if I had read the Quran, I said no, and he offered to send me a copy if I gave him my address.
I feel guilty for not having read the whole thing, though I have dipped into it from time to time.
It struck me as an extraordinarily kind and human gesture on his part, offering to educate me about his religion and culture. I won't forget him.
在我的书架上，有一本古兰经，是一位出租车司机寄给我的，我和他有过一次交谈。
他问我是否读过古兰经，我说没有，他说如果我给他我的地址，他会寄给我一本。
虽然我时不时地看一下，但我为没有读完整本书而心怀内疚。我觉得这是他非常友好和人性化的姿态，主动向我介绍他的宗教和文化，我不会忘记他的。
What shocks me is not that cabbie drove you free of charge but that you had to PAY FOR AN AMBULANCE. WTF. So glad to be British. My asthma medication is free, long term chronic condition and the drugs I have to take for manic depression cost a tenner every two months. My asthma is well controlled because it doesn't cost me to see my GP
My nephews diabetic stuff from insulin to strips, free.
Yes I know we pay through our taxes but isn't that a better way to make sure everyone can profit from care rather than just a few.
让我震惊的不是出租车司机免费载你，而是你不得不支付救护车的费用。太艹了吧，真高兴我生在英国。我的哮喘药物是免费的，但长期慢性疾病和躁郁症的药物每两个月只花10英镑。我的哮喘得到了很好的控制，因为去找医生看病不花钱。我侄子的糖尿病需要的胰岛素等所有开支都是免费的。是的，我知道我们是通过纳税来支付这些的，但这难道不是确保每个人都能从医疗服务中受益而不仅仅是少数人受益的更好方式吗。
Wow, I’m surprised it’s free to call an ambulance over there!! Here in America, I think it costs a couple thousand dollars, so a lot of people will call a Lyft or a taxi 。
哇，我很惊讶你们那可以免费叫救护车，在美国，我认为这要花几千美元，所以很多人会叫来福车或出租车。（译注：来福车是一个打车软件，美国版滴滴。）
I’m an Orthodox Jew, living in Israel. I’ve met many, many Muslims, and they’ve all been very good people. There are a few bad apples, and I feel for all the law abiding Muslims who just want to live their lives and not get lumped in with terrorists.
我是一个正统派的犹太人，住在以色列，我见过很多穆斯林，他们都是很好的人。这里的情况是坏蛋就那么几个，我同情所有的穆斯林，他们只是想要普通的生活，不希望将他们与恐怖分子混为一谈。
As I am sure you know that they are a few bad apples within the Jewish community also and every other religion on the planet
我认为你也知道，不光是犹太群体，包括世界上其他宗教里面都有一些坏蛋。
I have many Muslim friends from Palestine - they would do anything for me even though I am not Muslim (am a Christian) and I would do the same for them. I think this world is jaded from a “few” bad apples from ANY religion - we have to remember that they are humans first….there are bad people from any race, religion, country, etc.
我有许多来自巴勒斯坦的穆斯林朋友——他们会为我做任何事，即使我不是穆斯林(我是基督徒),我也会为他们做同样的事。我认为这个世界已经厌倦了任何宗教的少数老鼠屎——我们必须记住他们首先是人类，任何种族、宗教、国家等都有坏人。
